Andy Murray had to think a lot early in his second-round match against Emilio Nava at the US Open on Wednesday, but the former World No. 1 rose to the occasion to win 5-7, 6-3, 6-1, 6-0 and advance to the third round. Nava, 20, clinched a lung-busting 84-minute opening set with a brilliant forehand pass to pile pressure on his experienced opponent, but Murray patiently waited and proceeded to unpick Nava’s game with some solid baseline striking on Arthur Ashe Stadium. For the first time in six years, the 2012 champion won 14 of the final 15 games to advance to the third round in New York.
“I think I started to take the ball on a little bit more,” said Murray in his on-court interview. “He was dictating a lot of the points in the first set. Once I started to hit the ball a little bit bigger, a little bit deeper, I was then able to control the points more. He also played a really long first-round match, a five-setter against John Millman. I think that’s the first five-setter that he’s played, so it’s not always that easy to recover and I think his level dropped a little bit in the third and fourth sets. But he’s a brilliant young player and he’s going to have a very bright future.” Murray will be up against a tough test in Matteo Berrettini in the third round of the Grand Slam.
Andy Murray and Matteo Berrettini are scheduled to face each other on Friday, September 2 in the third round of the 2022 US Open. The fourth and final Grand Slam of the season began on August 29 and will go on until September 11.
